Don't you think it's a little ironic that the man who doomed the entire human race, is also the only one who can save it?

It’s a funny paradox of the series. Then again, Gordon really didn’t have much actual responsibility for the accident. He didn’t authorise the sample, or know what it was. To me this is no different than a pilot who saves a plane from crashing due to a fault they could not have known about, such as the infamous Quantas flight with bugged software. He’s a hero.

Gordon wasn’t responsible for anything. Dr. Rosenberg from Blue Shift and Decay designed the Anti-Mass Spectrometer and even stated a large safety concern to Dr. Keller, in front of Gina Cross and Collette Green. He says that the equipment was not meant to run at that capacity and the administrator (Dr. Breen) was a bureaucrat, not a scientist. So it’s clear that Breen did not care for safety parameters and was most likely orchestrating it under the influence of the Gman. This is further evidenced of the special pure Xen Crystal brought in by an “unknown source.” So in summary, Gordon was following procedure and the team controlling the machine was forced to run it above safety regulations with a untested sample he had no say in. Problem is even if Gordon didn’t push it, someone else would have.

Gordon wasn't responsible for anything. He literally pushed a thing into a thing because he was ordered to. He didn't design the test, he didn't order the sample, he didn't have any responsibility...smdh

It's kind of poetic. It's like he wants to redeem himself
